The 10,000 billion VND expressway has not yet collected tolls but has been patched up unevenly.

Over the past few days, drivers traveling on the Vinh Hao – Phan Thiet expressway heading North – South have been surprised to see many sections of the road being patched up.

Specifically, from Km 160 to Km 175, Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet expressway (section between Cho Lau intersection - Luong Son intersection, Bac Binh district, Binh Thuan province) has many patched road surfaces, creating a difference in elevation compared to the old roadbed.

The jagged patches on the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet highway are quite clear.

On some sections of this route, the density of road patches is quite high, causing some difficulty for drivers when traveling.

Also on this route, drivers also recorded a few small, newly appeared potholes that had not been patched yet.

Rough road surface due to repair appeared a lot from Km 160 - Km 162

On the entire Vinh Hao – Phan Thiet expressway, the patching points mainly appear from Km 160 to Km 175.

It is known that the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet expressway will officially open to traffic from May 19, 2023, with a 17m wide road surface for 4 lanes with a speed of 90km/h and a minimum of 60km/h.
